This is very true. It doesn't take long for a married man to develop what is known as "selective hearing". Your mind will turn any unwanted noise, children screaming, wife's complaining, broken appliances, etc, into white noise that you don't even process anymore. I'm convinced it's a self-defense mechanism built into the male brain to keep us from losing our minds.

1) Take testicles back from wife. They are probably in her closet with all the shoes and other extraneous, unjustifiable purchases she has made.

2) Order more cigars.

pektel · 10-04-2011, 08:11 AM

^for clarification, that was sarcasm.

kelmac07 · 10-04-2011, 08:20 AM

Mickey...Kellie asks me the same thing everytime a new package arrives.

My wife gave up a couple years ago. She knew it fell on deaf ears. Good luck with yours Mickey!

I had a wife once. For me, it was overrated.

...And so I told her, "If you'd spend half as much time sticking your nose in a cookbook as you do my business, maybe I could get an edible meal around here."

THAT's how the story is supposed to end.

After Weeze asked me about going to Florida, while she was on her way to work while I sit home, she told me I need to go find a new car.
That's close enough to "cigar" that I think I'll just go buy a bunch of cigars. I can do that from my chair.

The proper response is:

"Is that what you want to do today? Fight?"

As long as it is not interfering with the finances, what's the big deal?

I tell my wife that I am my own person, and I refuse to end activities that give me enjoyment just because she says so. This is why I still smoke cigars, ride my motorcycle, etc.

I had to explain it carefully, but when she understood that she was just being selfish, she stopped giving me grief completely. Now she half supports it, if it makes me happy.

My hero!

I need to know exactly what you said to her lol. Finances are covered and all that, she even got mad at me when I told her I was going to get a pt job...she thought it was to get away from her, I explained that it was for cigars, music & videogames....I really don't see the big deal either....maybe she needs a hobby?

Ok this has turned into the oprah show now lol sorry.

For the most part my wife no longer cares as she knows it is something I enjoy and she knows she can usually just buy whatever she wants too. But to keep it from becoming a problem or a box or two costing me even more money in the whole well you bought a box of cigars so I bought a pair of shoes I do exercise caution. If my collection didn't have all my storage devices busting at the seems including an decent sized end table cabinet I wouldn't even bother hiding some of my purchases but I am too the point where my collection is far exceeding what I could consume in a couple years.

Yeah, that's just it...I have NEVER denied her anything she wanted to buy.

And the cigars!

chippewastud79 · 10-04-2011, 07:04 PM

See my signature.

And there is no need to hide purchases, just abide by the "24 hour rule". When a purchase comes in, put it in the appropriate place (humidor, drawer, etc.), if she doesn't notice within 24 hours then she can't complain/be upset about it/tell you to take it back.

DPD6030 · 10-04-2011, 02:51 PM

My reply to that would be, Well dear, when you are done buying shoes or clothes I'll be done buying cigars!

Volusianator · 10-04-2011, 02:57 PM

I personally give you permission to use my late fathers famous words, "I'll decide!"
